Chapter 95
Storm
Since we had arrived at the hospital, things had gone by in a blur. My labour has progressed along, and Doyle and I have now been up at the hospital for over two hours. I clung to his hand, trying to reassure him I was fine. I knew that this must be difficult for him after everything he had been through with his previous mate.
Looking over at me, he asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, it just hurts, that’s all,” I replied giving his hand a gentle squeeze. I had opted to go through my labour drug-free. I didn’t want to risk my baby’s health by dosing up on pain medication. I was satisfied I could do this without the use of pharmaceuticals.
I kept taking deep breaths in and out and trying to keep my mind clear so the pain couldn’t get to me and take me over. With Mason and my dad, I had experienced pain before for sure, but this pain was unlike anything I had ever felt before.
Doctor Shailer had been monitoring my progress, and it wasn

Storm I was alone in the room with Doctor Shailer and the baby. The moment Doyle had left, Doctor Shailer had closed and latched the door and had stayed with me while I gave the baby a feed. I soon learned that breastfeeding wasn’t as easy as it looked. Getting the baby to latch on and making sure that he was getting enough nourishment as I soon found out was a tedious task. It made me realise why so many women chose to use bottles to feed their babies. It was faster, and you could see how much milk your baby was really consuming. That afternoon, Doctor Shailer told me she was happy with how the baby, and I were doing, and we were allowed to go home, which I was thankful for. I just wanted to go home and be away from prying eyes. The number of random pack members that had stopped in to see the baby at the hospital had gotten to be rather exhausting. Later that day, it was just going on late afternoon when we had gotten home. I was up in the nursery, sitting in

Storm Storm Following Dalton’s birth, I had to adapt to the changes in my circumstances being a new mother brings. I hardly let the baby out of my sight and had woken up regularly throughout the night to check on him. It was a strange thing, being responsible for this little life that totally depended on me. Doyle was trying to get me into a routine which would have me living my life normally, the keyword here being trying. I was afraid to take the baby outdoors as I feared rogue attacks on the pack, and I was hesitant to leave the baby alone with anyone. My first major trial as a new mother came when Dalton had to have his check-up with Doctor Shailer and Doyle was away with Sean attending a meeting at a neighbouring pack that was situated about three hours away. I would have asked Siobhan to accompany me to the appointment, but she had gone on a shopping trip with Julie. Leah and Lilly were home with me, but Lilly had quarantined herself because she

Storm When we arrived back at the pack house, my wolf was growling inside my head and pacing back and forth. Something was obviously wrong. I knew that Lilly had been the only person left at home. Suddenly I just knew Lilly was in trouble, I didn’t know how I knew, but I felt it with every fibre of my being. Looking at Leah, I said, “Look after the baby please. Hide somewhere. Don’t come inside yet.” Not waiting for a reply, I went straight inside, leaving Leah with the baby. I made my way upstairs to Lillie’s room and I had just gotten to the bedroom door, when I heard a horrified scream come from within. Kicking open the door, I took in the sight before me. Lilly’s rooms had been trashed. There was blood on the floor and on one of the walls. Lilly was being pinned to the floor by two men, and I was almost barrelled over by Sophie, as she bolted out of the room in a panic. Phasing into my wolf, I ran as fast as I could at the two men,

Storm Eight weeks later Life had settled down after Lilly’s attempted abduction, and since the birth of Dalton. With the baby we had stumbled into a kind of rushed and yet comfortable but still chaotic routine. Dalton was growing rapidly, and the trusted members of our pack who inhabited our household were delighted to help us out with him when we needed them to do so. Lilly was getting back to her old self, although she was still jumpy and refused to sleep in her old bedroom. Leah, and Julie had moved her belongings into one of the spare rooms and had gotten it all set up for her. Siobhan had handled getting Lillie’s old room repainted and recarpeted. I hadn’t seen Sophie since Lilly’s attempted abduction, but I was looking forward to seeing her. Hopefully, I would see her sometime soon, then I would rip her apart. Lilly and I hadn’t told anyone about Sophie’s part in Lilly’s abduction attempt. We were sitting on it so that we coul

Storm Mike, who had been watching us closely, suddenly said, “I thought your name was Lena, but he just called you Storm, why?” I looked at Doyle, not knowing how to answer Mike for a moment. Doyle went to speak on my behalf, but I shook my head at him. I stood up, and looking at Sean and Mike, I said, “What I am about to tell you both, doesn’t leave this room. I want you both to give me your word right here, right now, that you will not breathe a word of it to anyone, including your mates. Can you both promise me that?” Sean nodded and said, “Lena you have my word I won’t tell a soul, everything you say to me stays between you and me, it always has, you know that.” I looked at Mike who sat quietly for a minute before saying, “You have my word, I will keep it to myself.” “Good, because if you break your word, I will have the Alpha kill you,” I replied, giving him a small smile. “My real name is Storm Danger, I am Alpha Rayland Danger’s y

Storm After my father’s phone call, we finished up our pack business in Doyle’s office before making our way downstairs to check on Liam and the girls and the baby. When I got downstairs, I saw James and Daniel and James’ mate Sophie in the lounge room with Liam and the others. Well, well, well looks like today is my lucky day. It had been ages since I had seen Daniel and James, so it surprised me to see them and Sophie sitting there with Liam and the girls like it was an everyday occurrence. Sophie was getting too close to Leah and Dalton for my liking. After what that bitch had tried to do to Lilly, my wolf and I wanted her dead. I looked at Lilly who was sitting in the lounge's corner suite, curled up in a ball and looking like she was about to burst into tears. I could feel my wolf clawing within me to get out and wanting to kill Sophie to protect Dalton and Lilly. Before I could lock her down, my wolf took total control, and she forcibly shifted me int

Storm “Lena, what the fuck?” snapped James glaring at me. “Watch your mouth!” Sean snapped back. “You don’t ever speak to your Luna like that, or you will have me to deal with! Do you understand me?” Doyle asked glaring at James. “Yes Alpha, my apologies,” James said lowering his eyes. “Don’t apologise to me boy, apologies are owed to your Luna,” Doyle growled. “Apologies Luna,” James said looking at me. I met his gaze and just gave him a deep guttural growl. So, he could lower his eyes in respect to Doyle, but not to me. Suddenly I was annoyed, and my wolf was feeling bitchy and decided she needed to show it. She decided it was time to call James out on his shit and I agreed with her. It was past time to sort this crap out. Opening my mind link to the pack members within the room, I asked, “James, where were you and Daniel the day that the girls and I went for a run and got attacked by the rogues at the stream? You and

Storm Three weeks later I was in the nursery restocking baby supplies with Leah when Lilly came upstairs to tell me that Doyle wanted to see me in his office. “Why didn’t he just use mind link and tell me?” I asked. “I don’t know, he just told me that if I saw you, I was to tell you he wanted to see you in his office,” Lilly replied. “Better go down there, you don’t want to keep him waiting,” Leah said. I walked out of the nursery and made my way to Doyle’s office. When I got there, I saw that Sean was sitting at Doyle’s desk, in the chair opposite Doyle. I walked in and closed the door behind me. “We have got some news for you,” Doyle said as I walked over to his desk. “Okay…” I replied, taking a seat beside Sean. “We have received word that the Hunter’s Moon pack was attacked and that the pack has lost many of their pack members. I thought you should know,” Doyle said, watching me closely so he could get
